History of the Faroese boat
The Faroese boat is a light, clinker-built, slender and very seaworthy open wooden boat. Its characteristics include a curved sheer line with a high bow and stern. It also bears some resemblance to a Viking ship.
The Faroese boat was originally a rowing boat with up to twelve oars and is designated according to the number of rowers, e.g. a 6-mannafar. Over time it has been developed into a unique construction not found elsewhere in the world. It can be sail-powered and now also comes in a motorised version.
The Faroese boat is used for fishing and transport.
